00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.640
French President Emmanuel Macron, who made, uh, various assertions about Israel.

2
00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:12.500
Uh, the most remarkable one, uh, not necessarily about Israel, but related to Israel,

3
00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:18.280
obviously, um, that many picked up on, is that Hamas was never active in the West

4
00:00:18.380 --> 00:00:24.140
Bank. That's a direct quote, uh, from his speech, uh, which is absolutely remarkable

5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.620
because it's simply not true.

6
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:30.420
I mean, Hamas have basically been active in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank, for

7
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:37.580
decades, perpetrating dozens, if not over a hundred, uh, terrorist attacks,

8
00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:44.520
uh, killing hundreds of Israelis, um, and wounding thousands more.

9
00:00:44.980 --> 00:00:51.420
In fact, only before Yom Kippur, uh, ironically, a French, a Jew, Israeli French

10
00:00:51.620 --> 00:00:58.540
citizen was murdered as he went, uh, to a, a pool at Mikveh, uh, near his home.

11
00:00:59.080 --> 00:01:05.220
Uh, basically just looking to dip in some water, and he was murdered, um, by a Hamas,

12
00:01:05.580 --> 00:01:11.720
uh, related, uh, murderer. So it's kind of sadly ironic that a French citizen should

13
00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:16.800
be the latest victim of an organization that, um, the French president says isn't

14
00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:23.180
even active, um, has never been active, uh, in, in, in that particular area.
